BEIRUT: U.S.-led forces carried out at least five airstrikes Wednesday against ISIS fighters attacking the Syrian Kurdish town of Ain al-Arab, an activist group said.

The strikes hit ISIS positions south and southeast of the town, known as Kobani by the Kurds, which the jihadists have been battling to take for more than two weeks, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
